    I’d say at least the europeans I know more readily give away personal information, i.e. stories, anecdotes, details about themselves and their lives. In latin america you never know who’s out to get you, what with many abductions being perpetrated by family, friends or other close ones. Particularly money is a no-go topic in public spaces.

      Sorry i do not understand that parte about “abductions”, what do you mean? And about “giving away” personal information it is the opposite, at least most americans and (north)europeans are “closed” to themselves. Europeans from southern countries are more like us latin americans, friendly and open.

      this seems more like an american thing to share information?

        I mean sure, mileage may vary I suppose. In my experience the difference isn’t that great, but it’s not like I know a lot of people in either continent either, so my perception could definitely be biased.
